bluish blow fly - Lucilia
Ludwig Prairie Preserve, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
May 30, 2019
Size: ~8 mm
I only have 2 photos of this blow fly so it might not be possible to narrow down beyond family, but it is the first blow fly that I've photographed at Ludwig Prairie so I'm interested in knowing what kind of blow flies I might find there.

Lucilia
That's fantastic news, John! Thanks for identifying this blow fly down to the Lucilia genus! This will give me guidance as I find more blow flies out there in the future.
